"We'll also be looking at financial planning around the world," adds Joel Bruckenstein, CFP, "and expanding on topics we have touched on in the past, such as tablets and iPads. We'll be discussing social media archiving and systems to aid in compliance. There will be a case study on the use of a Web-based document management system and we'll look closely at the contractual ramifications of operating fully in the cloud. As always, we'll be including sessions that cover 'what's new' in financial planning, CRM, document management, desktop portable management systems, and rebalancing."
"We're going to offer the attendees the opportunity to participate in round tables for networking purposes in lieu of attending breakout sessions in one of the time slots," adds Drucker. "We've found that conference attendees have much to offer each other, not just in terms of networking, but also as far as sharing experiences and best practices.
